Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 23 Tanks a Million is a fairly entertaining comedy, but the title is honestly misleading. Going into the film, I expected something centered around tanks or large-scale military action, yet there is surprisingly very little of that here. The name gives off a completely different impression than the movie itself. That said, the film still has some charm thanks to its lighthearted humor and energetic performances. It moves at a decent pace and has a few genuinely funny moments that keep it watchable. The cast does enough to make the material enjoyable even when the story feels thin at times. Overall, Tanks a Million is not a bad film, but it definitely could have benefited from a title that better matched its actual content. While it never fully stands out, it remains a mildly amusing classic comedy that is easy enough to sit through. I rate it a 6/10.

Dodo's amazing ability to memorize just about anything has him learning every Army regulation under the sun. His knowledge of the Army is quickly noted and he is promoted to sergeant, to the displeasure of his Sgt. Ames (Joe Sawyer). Most of the humor plays off this dislike for the likable Dodo by his Sgt. Not enough meat in this to make a long movie and in typical Hal Roach fashion, he keeps it to a cool 50 minutes of screen time (about the length of a hour TV show minus commercials -- perfect for short attention span theater.) This only one of several Dodo Doubleday movies; which I've also heard is the best of the series. [img]http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4625/tomato1bx7.jpg[/img] See more Read all reviews
